I thought I'd have read more of the list than that. There are some I plan on reading and several that I've seen film versions of. I tried reading Lord of the Flies before but just couldn't persuade myself to read past the first few pages, which is not usual for me.

I am actually going through a book list right now from UK librarians called the 40 books everyone should read (or something like that ) and I am most of the way through it, so some of the books I have read thanks to that. I have another book list lined up for after I finish this one and it is a bit more, um, ambitious. I might eventually get through it before I die...well possibly It's 1000 books long.

Life of Pi is a wonderful book and I seriously encourage everyone to read The Kite Runner, which is not on the list. Also, White Teeth and On Beauty by Zadie Smith should have been on here. As well as reading the Bible, everyone should also read the Holy Qur'an.
